  • Title: Vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane with Candida chorioretinitis.
    Author: McDonald HR, De Bustros S, Sipperley JO.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 1990 Apr; 97(4):466-9. PubMed ID: 2326025.
    Abstract:
    Four eyes underwent vitrectomy and epiretinal membrane dissection for tractional retinal detachment (RD) or macular pucker associated with Candida chorioretinitis. The epiretinal membranes were vascularized and, in three of four eyes, were associated with full-thickness retinal scars, presumably at the site of previous active Candida chorioretinitis. The epiretinal membranes were successfully removed in all four cases. Visual results depended on the degree of macular pathology and the presence and location of a full-thickness retinal scar.
